2021 Stumpjumper Comp

Having pushed my 9kg carbon XC Hardtail to its limit on long rocky descents in the Cairngorms I bought this bike after a lot of shopping about in S4 size. I’m 5’9” and it fits like a glove. My biggest concern moving from a lightweight XC hardtail was the bike would bob on long steep climbs which I enjoy, but I’ve been amazed how smooth and stable the bike is even when pumping the pedals hard uphill - it glides uphill and floats downhill, it’s seriously impressive. I’ve been able to accelerate the bike over terrain that would make my wrists feel like jelly on my hardtail and not back off, it’s brilliant to ride. I knew the weight would be a potential issue and it feels heavier uphill but I’m happy for that trade off given its so capable on anything approach enduro bike terrain and has perfect balance when throwing it into berms and corners. I’m very very impressed with this bike, and the build quality is excellent.

This is my first full suspension bike. I've always ridden hard tails and put them through the paces. Now, I'm mad I didn't get a full suspension bike sooner! This bike handles wonderfully and is capable of anything that I'm willing to try. There's a reason the Stumpjumper has been around for so long. Also, it's worth every penny to get the carbon frame!

I bought this bike a month ago it has been a blast. Everything on it feels right and feels like it could handle most trails

I've had several bikes. None have been this fun. Everything about this bike has really impressed me after about 75 miles of western PA single-track. If you ride that type of terrain, this is an excellent choice.

This is the bike that 90% of mountain bikers should be riding. It can handle everything from steep technical trails to big mountain epics. The geometry of this bike is fantastic and makes it feel like you have much more travel that the numbers suggest. The bike is stable at speeds but it also playful if you want it to be. If you aren't racing enduro or riding bike parks this is the bike you should buy. Great spec to cost (for specialized).

I have had it for a few weeks now and have no complaints, it climbs like a beast and descends like a dh bike. The SLX drivetrain is so dialed and i am presently surprised with the value. So stoked to be riding this bike.

Just did My first ride on a trail I am used to riding here in the San Francisco East Bay on my Brand new 2021 Stump Jumper Comp just purchased December 27th 2020 . First up are the 29 inch tires which really felt like they rolled over every thing, and I rolled over terrain that was rougher on sections I am used to riding. Next was the drivetrain. Just felt great to have that 1X12 working, shifting was precise and smooth. Descending was superb though I have my old bike""s suspension tuned just the way I like it riding downhill sections, this bike felt super tight and solid descending.I'll fine tune the suspension once I get into the manual and see if I can tweak the settings just right for my weight and riding style. I looked at many bikes online and on Youtube reviews and these new set of Jumpers looked like they needed a closer look. They happened to have one in stock that I was able to test ride instead of considering a mail order bike, I went with Local and glad i did. A free service comes with the bike as well as warranty so being close is better in my case. I don't wrench on bikes.
